I own Circuit Breaker but not transformers.

Same Battle, BreakDown's POV

One look at Arcee and you could tell that she was going to rip my spark out and leave my body for scrap.

When I first had gone over to the Decepticons, I had wanted Circuit Breaker to join me. Now, I'm glad that she is not in my position. KnockOut and I had been debating on how we could get to the Autobots. We were both tired of Megatrons' abuse. We started volunteering for every mission we could so that we may end up with a chance to join the Bots'.

"BreakDown," my ex-sparkmate growled, "What in the slag is wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry sweetspark, I didn't remember," I retorted.

I looked around for a second. There were a lot of tall pine trees. The birds were chirping loudly as they flew away from their nests. I took a second to sink in, but then I realized that KnockOut and I were left alone with the Autobots. I saw my chance. My best bud slinked over next to me.

"KnockOut and I wanna join y'all."

"Optimus," she called to their leader, "Can you come here for a moment?"

The mech quickly walked over to the former sparkmates. He had no idea about Arcee's past.

"Yes Arcee?" He withdrew his swords. "BreakDown, KnockOut. Do you wish something of us?"

Before I could reply, Arcee spoke up.

"They want to join us, Optimus."

He did not seem surprised.

"Let us go back to base. Ratchet will be able to confirm that they are telling the truth."

We followed the Bots' into their base. It was large and had a lot of concrete and many monitors. There were three small fleshlings leaning on a rail. Ratchet stood in front of them, as if to protect them. We were moved into the medbay. They strapped us to the medical berths. I liked their medbay. Ours was dark and cold. This was light and warm. Ratchet hooked us both up to a large lie detector.

"Do you want to join the Autobots?" He asked.

"Yes," we answered at the same time.

The light stayed green.

They asked us many different questions. My internal clock said that 2 joors had passed both the Bots' finally were positive that we would not turn against them. I was so glad to finally be released.

After a few kliks, Optimus said,

"BreakDown and KnockOut, Arcee will show you around. Ratchet can change your emblems later. Circuit Breaker, report immediately to Ratchet. You are losing quite a lot of energon."

Circuit nodded her small helm and walked into the medbay.

Arcee's Pov

I wanted to scream at Optimus. Putting me with my ex and his best friend! Ugh!

"Come on," I growled as I watched my daughter go to Ratchet.

The mechs quickly and quietly followed me.

"So," piped up KnockOut, "This is the haus und hof of the Autobots." (house and home)

"Yes, KnockOut," I hissed.

"You know, now that we are Autobots, you have to be nice to us," BreakDown pointed out.

"Only if Optimus orders me to."

"Arcee, I'm sorry for leavin' you and Circuit. My processor must've been messed up or somethin'."

"Sure. That is a good excuse for being an idiot to your sparkmate and your own daughter! If you broke one circuit in her helm, Primus knows what I will do," I said as I got as close to his faceplate as I could. I was still shorter than him even when I stood on the front of my pedes. The next thing he did surprised me to no end. He wrapped his large arms around me and kissed me. At first I struggled ruthlessly, but then I slowly melted and kissed him back. Before I offlined my optics, I could see KnockOut smirking. We held the kiss for a few kliks more. I was the first one to break our contact.

"Let's continue the tour," BreakDown said as he smiled down towards me.

"Okay, sweetspark."

Circuit Breaker's POV

I walked towards Ratchet. He looked at me with so much concern; you would have thought I was dying.

"Come on Circuit. You know where to go."

I hopped onto the closest berth as he walked off to get the right tools. My processor was still buzzing intently. "BreakDown is my father? That would explain why I thought he looked familiar," I thought. The red and white med bot came back into view.

"Sit still so I can get a better view of your dent."

He gently ran his large and warm servos over the left side of my helm. He lightly pushed on a few places and was met with a low hiss coming from me.

"I will have to use a strong magnet to pull it out and then I have to weld it. I am going to turn off your pain receptors, so you should not feel a thing. Alright?"

"Sure. You're the medic."

He opened a small panel on my neck and flipped a small switch. I did not feel anything as he popped the dent out. He transformed his right servo into a welder and expertly welded the wound shut. He flipped the switch again and caught me as I fell over a bit. It hurt pretty badly and was very sudden.

"You should be fine. I will have to perform a thorough examination of your processor to make sure that there is no damage. That means I will put you into stasis for a short time. You can rest today but tomorrow you need to report here immediately. Got it?"

I sighed. "Alright."

I wandered out of the bay to find mom and…dad. I wanted to talk with them. I walked down corridor after hall and so forth with no luck. That is, until I checked the training area. They were standing around chit chatting. I opened the door and walked towards them. They looked at me. Arcee seemed concerned as did BreakDown. KnockOut could not have cared less. BreakDown wrapped me in a large hug. I was a little confused, but then I hugged him back. He stroked the back of my helm lovingly.

"Are you alright? I'm sorry I hit ya'."

"I'm fine. Ratch said that I have to go through a thorough processor exam. Woo hoo." The last part I said was dripping with sarcasm.

He was very sad at my news. He never wanted to hurt his own family then he already had.

"If you all do not mind, I'm going to go wander around the main room," KnockOut said with a bored tone.

As soon as His bud left, BreakDown got down on one knee in front of Arcee.

"Can you ever forgive me and bond again with me?"

I was shocked a little less than my mom. Her jaw had dropped so far I thought it would fall off. I nonchalantly pushed it up. She shifted her gaze towards me for a nano-klik. I nodded my helm gently.

"I forgive you. I have missed you so much since we separated. My spark has felt empty without you."

I took that as my cue to leave the room and give them some privacy. I smiled as I walked into the main area.

A/N

Was not expecting that, were you? Thanks to everyone who reads, rates, and reviews! They make my spark all fuzzy. :D

I will have a description about bonding in the next chapter.
